Description

If the field used for sort_mode is an item link, any initial selected results in zero items returned.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create trackers:

Tracker "Names", id=1
Text Field "Name", id=1
Values:
"Fitzgerald,F. Scott" id=4
"Follett,Ken" id=5
"Grisham,John" id=6

Tracker "Titles", id=2
Text Field "Title", id=2
Values:
"Great Gatsby, The" id=1
"Dangerous Fortune,A" id=2
"Painted House, A" id=3

Tracker "Books", id=3
Item Link Field (2,2) "Title", id=3
Item Link Field (1,1) "Author", id=4
Values:
"Great Gatsby, The","Fitzgerald,F. Scott" id=7
"Dangerous Fortune,A","Follett,Ken" id=8
"Painted House, A","Grisham,John" id=9

2) Add trackerlist plugins to wiki

Copy to clipboard
{trackerlist (trackerId=1, fields=1, showinitials=y, sort_mode=f_1_asc) /}

{trackerlist (trackerId=2, fields=2, showinitials=y, sort_mode=f_2_asc) /}

{trackerlist (trackerId=3, fields=3:4, showinitials=y, sort_mode=f_3_asc) /}


3) Filter on "F" - you will see two authors and no titles or books (expected)
4) Filter on "G" - you will see one author, and one title, but no books. The book should have been listed also.

I did step (2) above on the home page of the show.tiki instance. To rule out interference between the 3 plugin instances on the same page, I also create separate wiki pages "Names", "Titles", and "Books" on the show.tiki instance. The behavior was the same.

You can see another example on our site:
http://www.hrsms.org/home/References

When trying to find a workaround, unexpected behavior was found in TrackerFilter. When the filter is 3/i (intials for title), clicking on a letter results in all titles with the letter anywhere in the string being returned. I would expect only those beginning with that letter. This has been added to the show instance to demonstrate.
